Newcastle are said to have made their move this week and the player is up for the move but it is now down to whether Blackburn are willing to sell and at what price.

The inevitable departure of Fabricio Coloccini at last happened this week, leaving Newcastle with only two specialist first team centre-backs in Mbemba and Lascelles.

The highly-rated 23-year-old, who had been linked with Reading, won League Two Player of the Year award last season, and follows Marcus Antonsson, Kyle Bartley, Hadi Sacko, Robert Green and Matt Grimes as Leeds’ sixth signing of the summer.

Roofe netted 26 goals from 49 matches in all appearances during the last campaign, and played a key role as Oxford reached the final of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy and achieved promotion from League Two.

Leeds have also signed Swansea midfielder Matt Grimes on a season-long loan.

Grimes, an England Under-21 international, is reunited with former Swansea boss Garry Monk and follows Kyle Bartley to Elland Road.

Turkish giants Galatasaray are in the hunt for Aston Villa striker Jordan Ayew.

Ayew was Villa's top scorer last term after joining from Ligue 1 strugglers Lorient a year ago, netting seven times in the Premier League after signing for a reported fee of around £8 million.

The 24-year-old forward was arguably the club's brightest spark in attack throughout the campaign, often looking a cut above the rest of the side.

Scunthorpe have signed midfielder Duane Holmes on a two-year deal following his release by Huddersfield Town.

Holmes made 26 appearances for the Terriers after coming through the club's academy system, but was released by the Championship side in May.

Alan Stubbs has stood firm on his stance that he will not raid former club Hibernian for their players after Rotherham were linked with striker Jason Cummings.

Stubbs, who swapped Easter Road for the Millers last month, said after his appointment at the Sky Bet Championship club that he has no interest in signing any of his former players, insisting it was not "morally right".

That has not stopped the 20-year-old striker, who flourished under Stubbs, being linked with a move south of the border, with reports emerging earlier this week that the two clubs had been in contact.

Fulham are set to sign their second new player of the summer.

Belgian international left-back Denis Odoi, who can play either foot, is apparently undergoing a medical that sees him switch top-flight side Lokeren for life in England's second tier.

The 28-year-old is rated on the continent, and previously played for champions Anderlecht before transferring to Lokeren in 2013.

QPR are being asked to pay £3 million for Charlton midfielder Jordan Cousins.

Rs' interest has yet to become a firm bid, but the relegated Addicks will play hardball on a man who has been their player of the year twice in a row.

More importantly, Cousins was signed to a deal that still has three years to run.

Brighton are also sniffing around one of the most dynamic players in the Championship over the last two seasons.

Sheffield Wednesday are reported to be among a number of clubs including recently promoted Burnley and Hull chasing the signature of West Brom winger Callum McManaman.

With Albion signing former QPR wide-man Matt Phillips, it is thought McManaman's time at the Hawthorns is coming to an end.
